"Are you tired of traditional talk-therapy? Are you dealing with unresolved trauma and emotions which seem overwhelming and interfere with family and/or day to day functioning? Do you struggle with negative emotions, such as grief, sadness, fear, distrust and/or anger?

"Are you seeking balance in an un-balanced world? Humans are wired to connect and build relationships and feel valued in our relationships. When experiencing a significant loss or change in a relationship, social status, health or identity, Emotional Distress can occur. Emotional Distress is not visible like a physical injury but is just as painful. When no one can see the pain you are in, it may be difficult to seek help. It can be tempting to ignore it and call it 'being strong'. Emotional distress can present as feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless, body aches, social withdrawal or increased use of drugs and alcohol. "

"Another day, another struggle with your relationships and your job. You've been so stressed that all those personal goals, like getting fit, eating healthier, happier relationships, and being calmer are just pipe dreams. Maybe your friends, your family, and your doctor have all been on your case to reduce your stress, your blood pressure, or change your lifestyle. Failure after sacrifice just blows. Who wants to try to change when you aren't even sure the life you want is possible?"

"If we are to live into our potential and experience lives that are meaningful to us, it is helpful to gain insight into where we feel blocked and what needs to happen to move us closer to our authentic self. As a psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst, I can often help you on this journey. There are many reasons why we seek individual or couple therapy. Understanding ourselves better seems to be reason enough. But for some this decision comes when we are at a particularly difficult moment in life--a death, divorce, relationship concerns, retirement or any situation which may constellate strong feelings."
